Not far ahead, a bridge loomed, and many unarmed Viking soldiers were running over there.

Wait, a bridge? That means there's a river ahead?

"Do these cowards still look like men?" the sturdy officer said angrily. "These cowards!"

The battle ax in his hand trembled slightly.

"Sir, do you need to use them to rectify the morale of the army?" A soldier closest to him said quickly when he saw that the strong officer had the idea of ​​killing deserters.

Serious military spirit... Do you want to kill all these deserters to boost morale... Qianyu frowned.

"That's not necessary," the sturdy officer's expression immediately calmed down from his furious state, and he said, "You really can't blame them."

"It was the villain who was rude." The soldier lowered his head and apologized.

"..." Qianyu looked at the soldier - did he really plan to encourage the strong officer to kill these deserters, or did he take advantage of the strong officer's character to protect the deserters from being executed?

The group came to the bridge and saw that there was indeed a river under the bridge. It was four to five meters wide and its depth was definitely beyond the limit of wading. In other words, if Harold II's troops wanted to cross the river, they would have to cross the river.

You can only walk from the bridge.

Only one fully armed soldier can pass on that bridge. If there are brave warriors on the Viking warrior side who can hold the bridge,

"And it's useless even if we reorganize them. I can withstand those enemies by myself." The strong officer pointed to the bridge. "As long as I hold this bridge, I can defeat the weaklings on the opposite side one by one.

Chopping melons and vegetables is done as well."

At this moment, a British soldier rushed onto the bridge with a sword, and the strong officer immediately rushed to the bridge head and chopped off the sword-holding hand of the British soldier who rushed from the bridge cleanly with a tomahawk.

Already.

The British soldier held his broken arm and wailed, and was immediately kicked off the bridge by the strong officer.

The chainmail armor on the strong officer's body shone with dazzling light under the rising sun.

If it were just an ordinary chainmail armor like mine, it would never be able to emit such a dazzling light...

The essence of chain armor is very simple. It is a kind of armor composed of a large number of iron rings that are interlocked and overlapped. If the enemy's sword strikes, the iron ring that is struck will pass through its own body.

The stacked structure distributes the force of chopping to other iron rings - this design can effectively resist small weapons that are good at chopping, and the more iron rings the stronger the defense of the chainmail armor will be.

That's it! Qian Yu suddenly came to his senses and realized why the strong officer's chain mail was so dazzling. His chain mail had each iron ring connected to four iron rings on the upper left, lower left, upper right, lower right, and if that strong officer

Officers relied on their physical strength to wear more complex chainmails (such as two parallel iron rings covering eight parallel iron rings in four directions, or each iron ring and eight iron rings in eight directions).

If there are iron rings attached to each other, etc.), then his chain mail will definitely be more dazzling than his own.

At this moment, other soldiers around him exclaimed in unison.

On the bridge, a relatively strong (but still far from the strong officer) British soldier just stabbed the strong officer with the spear in his hand.

Chain armor is not omnipotent, and is even useless when faced with some weapons.

The defensive unit of the chain armor is the iron ring, so if you use a sharp weapon to accurately stab the center of the iron ring, the chain armor has no good defensive measures.

The sturdy officer nimbly dodged the spearhead, then grabbed the spear body and pulled the British soldier in front of him.

The battleaxe tasted the blood of the Anglo-Saxons for the second time.

Even if you use a fighting method that can break the chain armor, if your own strength is not enough to confront the person wearing the chain armor, you will not be able to defeat him...

Of course, in this case, shooting from a distance with a bow and arrow was a measure that could be considered, but Harold II himself blocked this possibility.

In 1o65, Edward the Confessor fell out with the northern princes, and was ultimately unable to make them surrender. This also led to the fact that when Harold II raised troops to resist foreign invasion in 1o66, the northern princes refused to provide support - something that other areas did not have.

Cavalry and other archers are extremely rare in the area.

What's more, the power of bows and arrows in this era is very weak. The English longbow, the best in the world, will have to wait for at least eighty years to come out, and it will take another two hundred years to flourish with the support of the English monarch. (So Harald

What an unlucky thing it is to die from a bow and arrow...)

The tomahawk was as agile as a knife, and the British soldiers who challenged the strong officers one after another were chopped off the bridge in various postures.

But, if that's the case, then what are you doing here? Watching a show?

Just as Qianyu was thinking about this, a sudden change occurred in front of him.

The strong officer who had just hammered a British soldier onto the bridge's iron chain, causing his body to be severed by the iron chain, suddenly froze.

Everyone looked at the figure of the sturdy officer in surprise, and a few alert soldiers even ran to the bridge to check on the officer's strange behavior - including Qian Yu.

Then they were stunned.

They saw that the strong officer was impaled by a spear.

If that was all, it wouldn't surprise them too much, because chainmail really couldn't do anything against spears.

What surprised them was where the spear appeared - among the planks of the bridge.

Qianyu reacted immediately and looked under the bridge.

A British soldier covered in blood was floating in the water, holding half of a wooden board with one hand, and stabbing the bridge board with a spear with the other hand, stabbing the strong officer from below to his heart.

This British soldier looks familiar... He seems to be one of the soldiers who was thrown down by the strong officer just now... I didn't expect that he didn't die completely, and he even caused this incident...

However, there is no time to think about this now... Qianyu looked at the cheering British soldiers rushing onto the bridge, curled his lips, and entered a fighting state.

Come on, let me see what you computer-controlled guys are capable of!

(What is the concept of how powerful a longbow is? The English longbow is currently the only known projectile weapon that can deform the bones of soldiers simply by training. It is also the upper limit recognized by scholars as a single-manpower projectile weapon. It is recorded in ancient books

Any individual cold weapon with a range that exceeds the modern imitation of the English longbow will be directly regarded as a fallacy. This terrifying weapon with a length of 1.5 meters or even 2 meters can throw the bow and arrow 4oo yards away. If he and Ironwood are
